Tom, these are great i love them, seems it was a nice day there as well. Helps to get some light on them as down here where i live our weather is not all great and some good corners to get shots like that at out track means we are also looking into the sun. But good with the bad and #2 is the way to go loverly shots well done.
See our sigma lenes are good. LOL

wowzers - great stuff - and captured on sigma glass as well :D :D (i use the 24-70 2.8)
#2 briliant decisive (read 'painful') moment - on body and pocket no doubt - guess he'll have a hell of a repair bill.....

Good shots. I particularly like the colour balance of the shots as well.

great shots
I am very impressed at the slow shutter speed and motion effect. May I ask if you were panning hand held or using a mono pod?. These shots are sensationally sharp, what was used to sharpen??

kind regards

All taken hand held. I took over 600 shots over the weekend and got about 200 good ones. I couldn't pan fast enough with a monopod, besides I like the freedom hand held gives me.

Here's another one of my favorites. Roger Hayden won the Supersport event. He's brother to Nicky Hayden winner of the MotoGP at Laguna Seca

Incredible images Tom!

Expsoure, panning, colour and contrast all spot on - and exposure #2 shows a great example of where good preparation meets opportunity. I for one could have been there with you and I know I would not have captured that image.

Cheers,
